Ollie Tanner: Cardiff City fear for ‘pretty serious’ injury to winger

Cardiff City fear that winger Ollie Tanner could be facing a long spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in their 1-0 win at Wimbledon on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old, who has only recently signed a new four-year contract, collided with an advertising board just before half-time and had to be carried off .

“It was an ankle injury, it didn’t look a good incident and it’s not an insignificant injury, it looks pretty serious,” said Cardiff manager Brian Barry-Murphy.

“We’ll scan it tomorrow [Wednesday] and reassess from there, but he’s on crutches at the moment and will be going to hospital.”

Tanner was hurt trying to prevent the ball going out for a goal kick.

“In this moment he’ll regret going for the ball but that’s the natural instincts of a player of his qualities to go for the ball and never give up on it,” Barry-Murphy added.

“There’s no point looking back, from this moment onwards we’ll look forward to help Ollie in every way we can, and make sure he has a speedy recovery to get back as soon as possible.”

Cardiff’s win, which continued their unbeaten start under new boss Barry-Murphy, came late courtesy of Isaak Davies’ 92nd-minute winner and kept Cardiff second in League One as they chase an immediate return to the Championship.
